Reflexology

Most of us, get up in the morning, submerge our feet in socks and then hide them away in shoes, often not to see the light of day again until we get back into bed.

Surely this can’t be good for our feet?

We spend so much of our lives on our feet and until they start hurting we barely give them a passing thought.

We should all give a little more time and attention to our feet.

Historically, Reflexology is said to have been devised by the Egyptians. There is a traditional theory that all parts of the body are connected to the feet and mirrored within them. The idea goes, that working specific areas and spots on the feet will positively influence and improve the health of the individual.

Although it is a beautiful theory, it unfortunately isn’t supported by our modern scientific understanding of the body. There is no scientific evidence to support the theory and no research to back it up either.

That doesn’t mean to say it can’t be helpful in improving your wellbeing.

As I said in the first sentence, there are very few things in the world as exquisite as a foot massage and, at least for me, it feels miraculous.
